It's been a while since I visited Oz; are they likely to check laptops at the airport on arrival, and get upset/arresty for things like porn having been viewed?
The law seems pretty open to interpretation over what is 'objectionable', or 'imported'...but if computer has accidentally downloaded the occasional scene or kept photos in the 'viewed' folder somewhere (all standard stuff, nothing that would be borderline illegal to watch in most developed places)...whats the view?
Yep. Normal practise is to take your laptop out of its sleeve when you are being xrayed to enter the secure part of the terminal. Since you are incoming, even this will not happen to you. So enjoy your porn, fill yer boots and grab yer duty free fags and grog on the way out.
"accidental is possible - I've done it myself.
I was looking for a particular typeface and googled for 'mackintosh font', quite forgetting the implications of dirty old raincoats.
Ah well, I'll admit - I didn't download it..
But AFAIK anything you click onto leaves it's 'pattern' on your computer - or am I wrong on that score?
Get Historykill 2013. Quite cheap and it wipes out all traces, unwanted stuff, thumbnails, etc.
Every picture you look at is stored in upto two thousand 4kb thumbnails on your computer (no idea why). Find the folder and delete the lot before going.
Anything you don't want customs to see, go to it's properties, and click on Hidden and it will vanish. You can later use the "show Hidden folders" option to find it again.
